Who Is Mai Iddu

I am a shadow to your eyes can only coat
The sun of your current mind – I caught:
Ice cream turning into sunscreen

I am there to your eyes can only smell and taste
Coconut flakes [like sand-dust on my navel] rest
On your hands to lotion your cliff chin

Miami Beach [I am there at the mimic of your stare]
With simple glance vowed by a promise not to care
The impetuosity of a man brought back to childhood
So beloved that each conception no one understood

I’m there! To your eyes speaking purely in our tongue
Redemption of such action if you only know it’s wrong
Frayed between pity and a job caregivers do
I replied: “Not your wife, sir; I am Mai Iddu.”
